Great Wine,
Better Company
A social wine club for people whose
favorite thing about wine is drinking it
Every month, Kathleen and Thomas hand-pick three bottles they're genuinely excited to drink themselves — the same wines you'd find sitting on their own kitchen table. Members gather at our monthly Release Party to taste each pour together, learn a little about what makes the wine worth drinking, and spend an evening with good company. No pretense, no book to pretend to read, no quizzes on tannins — just three great bottles and a reason to get together.
Wine Club Selections for September
From the Bertolani family's Scandiano vineyards in Emilia-Romagna, this dry sparkling rosé pours a bright cherry-pink and offers a fragrant bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry, and cherry, with a touch of floral rose petal. On the palate it's lively and fresh, with crisp red-fruit flavors balanced by a clean, dry finish and gentle effervescence.
A versatile food wine — pair it with charcuterie, Parmigiano Reggiano, salumi, light salads, or a range of Italian first courses.
A vibrant rosé made from 100% Montepulciano grapes on Fausto Albanesi and Adriana Galasso's certified organic estate in Loreto Aprutino, Abruzzo. Fermented cool in stainless steel from a blend of gently pressed whole-cluster grapes and a short cold maceration, it offers bright notes of maraschino cherry, strawberry, and tangerine — fresh, briny, and built for the table.
An ideal match for raw and cured seafood, crudo, and light Mediterranean fare.
A playful, natural reinterpretation of the classic California Bordeaux blend from Sonoma winemakers Shaunt Oungoulian and Diego Roig. This vintage flips convention by putting Merlot at the center (50%) alongside Zinfandel (20%) and Petite Sirah (20%), with an unconventional splash of Sauvignon Blanc (10%) folded in. The result is juicy cassis and blueberry fruit framed by Merlot's subtle spice and herbal lift — fresh, energetic, and distinctly Californian. Best served with a slight chill.
